To finish the finger loop, if you are lucky like me, and your loop pattern is perfect sized for this, then you just wrap the leather around the loop, starting on one side of the leather ring. Wrap it until you can put the leather end to end. Then I use a rubber band to hold the leather in place as I move on. I used 3 rubber bands to hold the shape. Then you use a sewing awl to do what I think is called a whip stitch to close it up. Then I tie some constrictor knots to cover any loose ends, and to cover ugly loose ends of leather. And it is done! This one took a couple days to make, while trying to think of what pictures to take, and when. I wish I would have taken more. If this stirs intrest, I will do a more inclusive tutorial with more precise measurements, and better descriptions.
